The Arbor roller series
The arbor roller series longboards is great for cruising around town. The arbor roller series as you might have guessed is great for just rolling…well you guessed wrong The rollers can FLY down streets…no wings. The great thing about these arbor longboards is that you never have to worry about rocks…because secretly the rollers have taken wrestling classes, they smash rocks.
my favorite board from this series is the Oso because it reminds me a lot of my powell steve steadham, Fast, smooth, and sexy. The great thing about the oso is takes no crud from nobody…smashes those nasty rocks…and rolls over those filthy cracks. remember. no smokin’ and no flash photography. I recommend the roller series to anyone who needs a quick way to get to work, school, hang out etc.
The Arbor mini series
The Arbor longboards as a great selection of carving boards and a couple of good speed boards. In all honesty I would have to say that these are the best carving boards made for big vert. If you’re looking to ride quickly up a 20 foot wall then this would definitely be the board you would want to get (haha like anyone has the guts to do that anyway). The mini series reminds me of cruising around on an old school powell peralta skatin up pools and ridin around town showin’ off your skills.
Anyways, if your looking for an amazing board then i would totally go for the pocket rocket. It’s really compact but at the same time has great room for your feet and amazing handling when it comes to carving up a fat ramp or even just an emptied pool. I have three words for you to wrap your head around, REALLY GOOD BOARD. So go ahead and buy an Arbor mini… now…. seriously.. do it now… i’m not joking… DO IT!
The arbor street series review
The Arbor longboards in the street series are great if you feel like crushing rocks and tellin’ those cracks off in the streets. The arbor street series is perfect if you want to make it over the urban terrain getting around town. The arbor street series is also great for racing cars, now you don’t have to but they have a brake light optional (not that you’d ever use it you’d be going to fast to stop anyways).
My favorite board from this series is the hybrid bamboo because not only is great for the environment but it’s also great under your feet! The hybrid is also getting around town and is pretty cost efficient (as compared to a car). I recommend the hybrid and the street series to any cruisers.
The Arbor Flex series
The Arbor longboards in the flex series are great, I don’t know about you but i think the name is pretty self-explainitory. This series features a selection of boards with a great amount of flex, but thats not the only thing this series comes with. They have pretty decent foot room and great speed. The boards work perfectly with the trucks to help you move smooth and quickly the Arboe flex has to be my favorite series from Arbor. This board would be perfect for a gymnast… (haha get it? cause’ of the flex? ahh well never mind).
The best board out of this whole series would have to be the waterman koa. It’s got the perfect amount of room for your feet and rides just like a dream. You’ll feel like your riding on butter. Why would you drive a car when riding one of these bad boys is just as easy and has more benefits? You could get stronger legs if your a wimp, you could save gas money, and not to mention all the ladies. So whats are you waiting for? Buy an Arbor flex today….. or face the consequences.
Arbor carver series longboards
The arbor longboards of the carver series are superb for carving and smokin’ all those little wannabes at the park and are great for snapping into and out of those pockets. These boards are were made for tearing up the concrete if you want I think you can even purchase those wheels with the little spikes on em to help leave more rubble behind.
My favorite board from this series is definitely the fish koa. The fish koa is just big enough that it has a wide wheelbase for smoother turning and more stability but not big enough to where it’s painful to carry downtown. The fish koa is also great for a little cruisin’. I recommend the fish koa and the carver series to any hardcore carvers or people who want to become hardcore longboarders.
Sector 9 sidewinder series
The sector 9 sidewinder longboards are built for speed and great coasting, these awesome boards will rock you’re socks off until the day that you die. And when you’re in a hurry to work and don’t have a car, fear not, these boards can jolt you from one end of town to the other in a matter of minutes (depending how strong you’re legs are haha)…. (yeah you probably couldn’t do that if you’re a wimpy little wimp). But If you’re looking to get places fast then these are the boards for you, oh yeah don’t forget that not only do these boards ride fast but they ride smooth too.
We would have to say that if you want some major speed power then you should definately go for the sand wedge. It’s got plenty of room to relax your feet while the board cruises you around town with agility and slickness. But it’s so hard to decide which of these boards is the best out of the series because they all ride so smooth and quick it’s almost like they’re perfect. So why don’t you decide?
Sector 9 platinum series review
Ever wondered what it’s like to have your face fly off because you’re going too fast? Well, wonder no more. The sector 9 longboards in the platinum series were made for such things, like rediculous speed, and melting faces that of which surpass any Dio concert you will ever go to. The platinum series is excellent for any downhill racing, slalom, or sliding.
My favorite board from this series is definitely the Kommi. The kommi was made for just downhill with a flush mount truck for a lower center of gravity. The Kommi also has special cutouts that make wheelbite virtually impossible. I recommend the Kommi and any of the platinum series to any hardcore or beginner downhillers. CAUTION: MAY CAUSE YOUR FRIENDS TO STEAL YOUR BOARD, AND MELTING FACES AT HIGH SPEEDS.
Sector 9 mini series
The sector 9 mini longboards brings one word to our lips… Awesome. This series features a variety of miniature board meant for coasting and carving, and presents an excellent concave design. The sector 9 minis are the perfect getaway boards, they have been scientifically proven to relive stress and set your mind into a trance of another world (haha), its like dying and coming back to earth on a rocket ship made of cheese. You’ll see what we mean once you ride one of these amazing boards.
We would have to say that my favorite board for coasting would have to be the Joel Tudor signature models, they ride fast and smooth and could beat just about any board in an old school race to the end of the block. But if your looking for a board that carves as good as the romans carved statues then you’re either going to want the kiwi or the costa. These one got perfect concave to grip your feet when you go vert. Trust us, you don’t want to miss out on an opportunity like this. click on the link and Buy a sector 9 mini series today.
Sector 9 deep end series
The sector 9 longboards in the deep end series are a vert/bowl/ramp riders dream. they have smooth tails nice concave and has the perfect felling on your feet when your launching off that sweet coping and getting that air that everyone will forever remember. I must admit that these boards arent like a normal sector 9. they arent really made for cruising but they make up for that with the pop and great concave.
Out of this series the best one would have to be the fine line its concave is so amazing, it flips so easily everytime you do any kind of flip trick especially varial kicks. Not only are these boards the best sector 9 boards made for tricks but these boards would last for quite a while, that would give you time to built memories with you sector 9… you wont want to let go of it when its time for a new one.
Sector 9 cosmic series
The sector 9 longboard from the cosmic series are a new way of expressing your inner surfer it feels as if your riding a wave every time you take your foot off the ground to push. Not only do the boards have an extraordinary amount of speed and great concave but most of all it has the perfect amount of flex in its plies. If you think you’ve always had an inner surfer than these would be the boards we would recommend.
My favorite board out of this series would have to be the Bintang. it’s way lighter than a normal longboard and has such beautiful flex and it rides like a dream. And everybody knows that bintang means dream in chinese. its just common logic. Anyways, if your busted and don’t got a car than you can always drop by and buy one of these beauties. its a lot cheaper than a car anyway, and you don’t have to deal with those annoying car salesman. Just cause’ you dont have a car it isn’t the end of the world, come buy a cosmic series sector 9.
